  1. Well' date=' let me just say that (when driving my work van) I will use the left lane to pass when need be, but will NOT exceed 70mph to do so, once I have made my pass I will gladly get back over. I don't "cruise" in the left lane, but will pass in it. To the impatient assholes behind me that want to do 70+ it may seem like I'm cruising or taking my time, but the reality is that my speed is gps monitored by "the man" and the moment I exceed 67mph my gps starts counting down, if I stay between 67 and 70 for more then 5minutes, my boss gets an email notice about it. If I exceed 75mph for ANY amount time he gets an email and I will most likely get a phone call from him and probably invited to meet with him personally. If I exceed 80mph for any reason I might as well just head for the office and turn in the keys. If you think it's easy driving on the roads around here and maintaining these guidelines you are crazy; next time you pass a semi on the road take a look at your speedometer, its real easy to jump well above 75 just passing someone.

    So, to the guy in the car behind me riding my ass, weaving back and forth and flashing his lights, I say this...

    you can fucking wait, because I need my job more than you need to pass me!

    Don't like it, call the "Hows my driving number" on the back of the van and let my boss know what you think of their "safety guidelines".[/quote']

    Then don't be an asshole and try to pass someone when you can't do it quickly.

  2. It is illegal to use that lane as a merge point. Where I used to work I'd see OSP write several tickets a day because of this. The arrows in that lane point to the left only, indicating it is a turn lane.

    If I can't get across all the lanes, I usually go right and get to a light where I can get turned around.

    We are lucky up here, and there isn't usually a time where waiting a a minute or so won't leave you with an opening.

    I guess you are right about that!

  3. My biggest peeve is people using the turning lane to merge in to traffic. Up this way we don't have too bad of a congestion problem in Y-town or Boardman, but the idiots the pull out in to the turning lane and just sit there waiting to merge chap my ass.

    You mean using the suicide lane? That's why it's there... Unless you're at an intersection either direction of travel can use that lane.

    Would you rather they just cut in front of you so you have to slam on your brakes?

    I use the suicide lane in heavy traffic where there is no way that both ways will be clear for me to pull out.

  4. How about the people who enter the highway at like ten mph slower than the posted speed limit messing up the entire flow of traffic already going the proper speed. Or in reverse... they slow down to like 50 a mile before the exit. I road rage daily. Left laners get the long honk of my f150 horn till they move over. Center lane drag racers are the worst too... i'll keep going faster till i get by. Unless i hit the limiter.

    I will say that Ohio has some of the shortest on ramps I've ever seen. 315 S from Henderson, also the 315 S from the hospital.

  5. even people without cell phones don't know how to check their mirrors or judge how quickly a vehicle is coming up on them. I hate when I'm stuck behind someone and not ONCE do they check their mirror for miles.

    I drive like what most people would call an asshole 90% of the time. However, I check my mirrors, I get out of the way for faster moving traffic and I've only ever been in one accident that was my fault. I just take it as I'm better than everyone else, which really doesn't come as a shock to me.

    I also have been known for being a super asshole and doing the "Ohio Pass". Pass them on the right and then get back over far too close to their front bumper for their comfort. I then watch my mirror to see the reaction which is normally funny. This only happens when I'm super pissed off but never to elderly, I think it'd give them a heart attack.

    ha are we brothers?

  6. I stayed single-ish for about 8 years and always used these type stories as my excuse when really it was I didn't wanna get tied down and miss out on opportunities to be a manwhore :D

    ha I had a flash to the movie The Hangover - you're one man wolf pack huh :D

  7. It's funny how different people see CL. I never put my phone # in a CL ad and I try to do everything through e-mail unless the buyer/seller requests to speak on the phone.

    I will say, you meet the weirdest people through CL... Almost as bad as riding a gray hound bus.

  8. Good.

    The only people who are against this type of legislation are ignorant to the fact that anyone who wants to carry a gun, will carry anytime/anywhere they want.

    This just eliminates the red tape for the rest of us who follow the law.
